IFINE 4215 Painted Identity: Large Scale Self Portraiture
This is an advanced painting studio course utilizing large scale painting projects as assigned to involve students with specific formal problems, process challenges and conceptual innovations on the subject of painting the self in relation to identity, sociocultural and political context. Students will be required to produce a single large-scale painting per assignment while practicing short daily exercises. While the assignments will utilize “the self” to explore identity issues/content we will aspire to utilize the self to address universal identity politics outside of the self, informed and informing contemporary culture and context. It is anticipated that each student will produce unique solutions, promoting personal vision and formal investigations while contributing dialogue to contemporary issues that touch on acceptance, diversity, inclusion and representation of voice, body, and beauty, challenging outdated modes of representaion and standards of beauty. A collective presentation from all assignments will be presented in final critiques and aspire towards a pop-up exhibition (organized by the students).
